Question
My 3-year-old daughter just started kindergarten, and this week, she said her ears were itchy and painful. This morning, she had yellow earwax discharge, and her ears were buzzing. She also had a slight fever. What should be done to treat yellow effusion in a child’s otitis media?
Answer
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications are the current methods and drugs used in clinical treatment for pediatric otitis media. Parents can choose according to symptoms. Parents can give their child regional treatment with anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child’s ear pain and yellow effusion are severe, it is recommended to use some painkillers to relieve symptoms. If the child has a particularly severe fever, then some antipyretic medication should be used appropriately. If the condition is severe, it is necessary to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the child has a perforated eardrum, it is recommended to go to the hospital for surgery promptly. During this period, make sure the child gets plenty of rest and eats more vegetables and fruits.
